TEXAS TECH: Pat Mahomes II is off to the NFL, but the Red Raiders aren't panicking. This offense is going to find a way to put up a ton of points regardless, but that's just not going to be enough to make this a good football team. Texas Tech has continued to struggle on the defensive side of the ball, and that isn't going to change this season. Until Kliff Kingsbury commits to that side of the ball, this team will continue to lose.

HOUSTON: Major Applewhite replaces Tom Herman as this team's head coach, so expect the offense to continue to be explosive and unpredictable. Under center is talented Texas A&M transfer Kyle Allen. He can make all of the throws. Defensively, Heisman hopeful DT Ed Oliver anchors a solid unit.
